2027 MasterCraft X23

X23
The X23 built its reputation as one of the most dialed boats in the MasterCraft lineup. Big enough to host a full crew, precise enough to drive like a much smaller boat, and capable of producing wakes and waves riders trusted every set. The all-new X23 carries that reputation forward through the lens of the modern X Family. Handling draws inspiration from the agility of the X22, while the interior borrows the spacious philosophy of the X24. Ergonomics, technology, and materials build on everything riders and families have come to expect from MasterCraft’s flagship models. The result is a 23-foot platform that brings performance, comfort, and control together in a way that feels effortless from the first set to the last.

EXPLORE THE X23
The original X23 set a tone others spent years trying to match. From its behind-the-boat performance to the now-iconic transom loungers, it pushed the category forward and quickly became one of the most requested boats long after it left the lineup. Bringing it back meant more than revisiting the past. The design team approached the new X23 the same way they approach every X Family platform—start with the fundamentals, then refine everything. An evolved running surface sharpens handling and response, while the modern X Family interior philosophy creates a more open, comfortable environment for crews spending long days on the water. It’s everything people respected about the X23, engineered with everything MasterCraft has learned since.

ELEVATED EXPERIENCE
The X Family has always been where MasterCraft explores what a luxury towboat can become. New hull thinking. New layouts. Technology that continues to reshape the driving experience. The X23 carries that mindset forward—design, performance, and luxury working together as one cohesive expression of the X philosophy. Step inside and that philosophy becomes immediately clear. The cockpit is sculpted, unified, and intentionally laid out to feel open and refined. Deep supportive seating, premium upholstery detailing, and carefully considered proportions create an interior that feels both luxurious and inviting. Storage and everyday amenities are seamlessly integrated throughout the design. Wireless charging, cubbies, cupholders, and speaker grilles blend cleanly into the architecture of the cockpit, while thoughtful details like drain channels and solid hardware keep compartments clean and durable over time. Every element is placed with purpose, creating a space that feels polished, functional, and unmistakably X.

THE GOLD STANDARD
The X23 originally became known for what happened behind the boat—and that standard hasn’t changed. An evolved running surface works in harmony with SurfStar and substantial ballast to deliver powerful, customizable wakes and waves that riders trust from the first pull. Surfers get long, clean pockets with consistent push, while wakeboarders benefit from firm, balanced wakes with crisp transitions that stay predictable set after set. Setup is simple through Rapid Surf presets, while Custom Surf controls allow riders to fine-tune the wave to their exact preference. The result is performance that feels familiar to longtime fans of the X23 while delivering the refinement expected from a modern X Family platform.

ICONIC TRANSOM, TRANSFORMED
The original X23 introduced a feature that quickly became one of the most loved spaces on the boat: the transom loungers. What started as a thoughtful design decision ended up shaping how crews spend their day. Riders relax there after sets. Friends sit back and watch the day unfold. Gear gets sorted before the next run. The same idea carries forward here, but now refined with an oversized design, better ergonomics and materials, and integrated board storage beneath the seats. It’s comfortable, functional, and still one of the best places to sit on the boat.

Features May Include:

X23 FEATURES
Redesigning the X23 meant starting with the fundamentals—how it drives, how it performs behind the boat, and how the crew moves through the cockpit. From hull design to onboard technology, every detail was reconsidered to make the boat feel sharper, more capable, and more refined where it matters most. The features that follow are the result of that thinking

Z9 TOWER
